An Explanation.
I noticed in your issue of Dec.
24th. you state, while talking with
a member of the committee the
other day, he stated that every
bill except one had been paid
before the limit and that one
was cut- ff immediately after it
expi red
As 1 am the one referred to I
think an explanation may be ne
cessary 1 was in possession of
the accompanying receipt at least
ten dav> before the cut off. Thitf
rece-ipt was shown by Mrs. Res
pass but. not regarded. I was
from home at ♦he <*irne J suppos
ed the receipt*#*'* J valid one as
and and ail to whom it was shown.
Although 1 paid Ihe demand, I]
was was advised by several not to j
do so, preferring to do the things
that t'-nded to peace. • :

Have Returned Home
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Dumas, who
were married en the afternoon of
Dec. 23 and who have been spend
ing the holidays in Macon and
other points on their bridal tour
returned home last Wednesday
ami have taken up their abode at
Mr. H. H. Willis, on Zobulon
street. They had a most delight
ful trip and were warmly greeted
oij their return by many admirers
and well wishers.
Mrs. Dumas, who was Miss Lucy
Bankston, is one of this oity’s at
tractive daughters who by her
many lovable traits of character
has won a place in the hearts of
all who are intimate with her. Mr-.
Dumas is a young man of sterling
integrity and good business char
acter and takes his place among
the worthy citizens of this town.
This young couple have a host of
good friends and on the part of
these we extend best wishes for
future happiness and success.
Property Transfers.
A number of deals in real estate
have taken place within the ltist
few dayr and the market seems to
lie very lively. Some are buying
for investments while others are
seeking homes and all kinds of
property is bringing good prices.
Mr. M. A. Bush lias purchased
the home of Mr. Shi Gray on For
syth street and will move into it.
in a short while. This is a very
desirable place ami no doubt will
make Mr. Bush a good home.
Mr Gus Smith him bought. <lie
home of Mr. Z. 'I 1 . Evans on Elm
street, and will take up abode there
shortly. In securing this In* came
into possession of a nice home and
he is fort unate in gettn g it. Mr.
Evans has not decided wliat he
will do but will board for the pres
ent and probably buy or build
again in a short while.
Mr J. 15. Bankson has purchas
ed the Pounds place on Holmes
street and the home of Mr. W.H.
Ellington on Zobulon street,.
These two are good investments
no doubt Mr. Bankston will rea
lize well on them, it will he re
membered that he bought the
Head place on Greenwood st
some time ago. This has been
greatly improved since he came
into possession of it and now pres
ents a neat appearance.
The deal was consummated this
week whereby Mr. J. A. McCary
came into possession of a 119x200
feet lot owned by Mrs. L. E. Veal
which faces on Greenwood street
and adjoins the place of Mr. W.
B. Smith on that street. Mr. Mc-
Crary will probably erect thereon
in a few months a handsome home.
The lot is a very valuable one and
will make him a desirable place.
The Presbyterian church also
purchased the lot from Mrs, Veal
that lies between the home of Mr.
O. M. Jones and the lot bought
by Mr. J. A. McCrary. The plot is
00x150 feet and fronts on Green
wood street. The Presbyterians
will in the near fulure erect there
on a manse. It will make a beau
tiful place and they are fortunate
in securing it. The building of
these homes will add much to this
comma nity.

CITIZEN/ BAJiJ
k / Pres. JHHH
Madden For The Senate.
Under the system that prevails
in the district it will be our time
to furish the next senator front
this senatorial district and in do
ing so it is very important that
we should present a man that will
be thoroughly acceptable to the
others counties of the district,
and to do this we must name one
who is broad and liberal in his
views, one who will be in sympa
thy with every interest of the peo
ple of tin* district and who will
have the ability to serve them
intelligently and efficiently. In
this connection the name of Hob.
John F. Madden is suggested. Mr.
Madden is a man preeminently of
the people. His business life has
brought him in touch with all
classes. He was a gallant Confede
rate soldier, and at the close of
the war being quite a young man,
he took up the battle of life and
has fought it bravely, honorably
and successfully. Hi? ability and
experience eminently fit him for
the position for which he has been
named. Asa farmer lie has been
successful, as a merchant he haa
demonstrated that he is a man of
fine business qualifications, as a
member of the House of Repre
sentative for several times, he has
a record as a safe and conservative
’egislator. The people will nmkft
no mistake if they should confer
this additional honor upon him.
A Friend.
